...publish this morning two communications. One represents the opinion of graduates whose interest in the success of our University crew is vital and unquestioned. The other is the view of an equally sincere undergraduate who represents an honest condition of opinion.

Such of the results of President Eliot's administration as can be summarily expressed, are found in William R. Thayer's comparison of the Harvard College of 1869 with that of today. The contrasts forcibly brought out in such a comparison are some of them of vital importance in measuring the advance which Harvard has made. Others, of less importance, are equally interesting as mere matters of statistics. No accumulation of statistics, however, can represent the effect of President Eliot's influence during the past twenty-five years. The material growth of the University is indeed worthy of notice...
